Established in the 17th century, Cire Trudon is the oldest candle maker in the world and was responsible for perfuming the persons and palaces of the French monarchy... until Napoleon expressed his mutual penchant for the country’s première candle creators. With fans from King Louis XIV to ‘Her Madgesty’ Madonna (the singer, not the ‘virgin’) Cire Trudon’s celeb endorsements speak volumes about the quality and luxury of this beautiful brand – and with over 370 years of experience, you’d expect them to have just about perfected their skills by now...Conjuring the heady floral scent of Marie Antoinette’s private hide-away garden in the grounds of the palace of Versailles, Trianon epitomises femininity and elegance with notes of Hyacinth, fresh white flowers, Rose and a hint of musk. The scent of late spring, this calming yet uplifting candle is the perfect way to banish the wintry gloom and usher a little bit of sunshine into even the darkest day (or stuffiest study). Completely paraffin-free and made using only the finest natural oils and waxes, these candles burn cleanly and evenly for up to 70 hours, and make a stunning addition to any bedside table, desk or mantelpiece – housed in hand-blown Italian candle-glass with their signature gold label stating the motto of the ‘Maison Trudon’; ‘Deo regique laborant’ meaning ‘They work for God and King’ (‘they’ being bees).
